after succesfully ruining the Halo and a portion of Halo 2, i'm wondering if the flood are coming back in halo 3, and how many people actually prefer playing the flood as opposed to brutes or sentinels or whatever new comes up in Halo 3.

I hate The Flood, I am sick of Zombies in games. I much prefer to fight the aliens and yeah I dont think The Flood should have been put in the games.

Also just a side note has anyone but me noticed how many games have Zombies now compared to how many that dont.

They're not really "Zombies" per se. More like husks animated by an alien organism. : )

I still hate fighting the damned things though, what with the creepy factor...scaling of walls, tentacles sprouting from ripped open necks and wrists, disturbing noises, and rising from the dead when those little bastards hop on to reanimate them once again.

Personally, I'd rather be an Elite with a slightly higher shield or health level than the spartan to balance with the whole width thing, but I'd like to see a Brute and ODST make it into the next incarnation of multiplayer. Flood would be sort of cool too...but maybe as a seperate game mode? Sort of like survival, where it's you and some other players fighting wave after wave of the parasite to defend an outpost or something. You'd get turrets, defensible positions, a cache of various weaponry...the works.

Just a thought. Oh, and more customization. Like the ability to add individual ornamentation or icons to your armor.

quite frankly i hate the flood, and i hate fighting them, i dread the levels in halo and halo 2 where you have to fight them, however halo just wouldnt be halo without them lol, so i think in halo 3, youll either fight them in the beginning as the arbiter, or/and you will play as master chief, returning to the flood infested high charity to get cortana and youll have to fight them then...

I actually find there tactics quite interesting to play against. They have no regard for their own life, would rather wack you to a pulp with an "arm" with bits of flesh hanging of it and tentacles sprouting out of it than shoot you with a perfectly operational gun. And they are a critical plot device, you just can't have Halo games without Flood in them.

IF you think they ruined halo, then you don't like halo, which means nobody cares what you think about what halo 3 should be like. :-)

Anyone who doesn't think the flood should be in the game, off you go and play something else because they are central to the plot. More so than the covenant. Don't like it?? Boo--blam!--hoo. I somehow doubt that the entire point of the story will be arbitrarily removed to suit you whining.

no way. the flood rocks. i especially liked how their tactics get more sophisticated on each successive level.

but the COOLEST thing was in haloCE...getting to watch 2 hunters playing with the ones that explode and release the infection forms. i always get a kick out of that. ;)

I'm sorry but do you know ANYTHING about the Halo games.
The name HALO refures to the 7 RINGS and the mother control (the Ark)
which its main purpose is to kill all sentinal life which the FLOOD use
as hosts.

The halos are not called " halo 1" and "Halo 2", they have names like Delta Halo and stuff.

What else is there to say? I like cheese
96% of people listen to (c)rap. If you're part of the 4% who still listen to (Real) rock put this in your signature.

I dont realy like them, but they can be a part of Mulitplayer, how? Because you can have infected elites, with sheilds.
